I watched the 2009 Super Bowl in a casino which had a CNY party happening simultaneously. It hadn’t been readily apparent until one of the intermissions when there was a giant dragon dance with lots of drum banging and cymbal clashing, much to the amusement of those there for NO v IND. Also a great buffet.

Partners Japanese (I say this only to highlight rice consuming palmares) parent is convinced that one of these is close enough to what they get out of a rice cooker and they eat rice most days.

Relevant snippet in this about owners complaining about 49ers compensatory picks… insane.

Probably on the light end of medium light, but nowhere beyond the pale. I’m more surprised that there is so little difference to brew time with such big grind changes - doing the same would often choke a shot, and now I’m seeing almost zero difference. I’ll crank it down again this morning and see where I’m at I guess.

Of course - but Josh Harris isn't the reason that Bienemy is less attractive as a HC now than on leaving KC.
I'm a Washington fan so I have my own opinions about Howell, and the fall off in the second half of the season was something which happened to the entire team, so as you say, is really tough to gauge in a vacuum, and 6 people will probably have half a dozen opinions over whos at 'fault'.
I skew more towards EB being responsible for not realising he didn't have Patrick Mahomes any more - ultimately if your OC can't get the most out of a young/rookie QB then they are in a tough spot.
It's really hard to discern why someone who led (or close to it) the league in a number of (albeit volume based) metrics through the front end of the season followed it with such a precipitous fall off. I don't think it is EBs fault but I do think it is on the OC to find a way to cope/steady the ship, which EB didn't - even if you accept other factors at play. Clearly there is talent there somewhere with Howell, which wasn't fully realised.
This ties in really nicely with the coaching tree discussion - how do you separate Bienemy the OC from Mahomes before this season? Their successes are inextricably linked, but what VAR (if you will) was Bienemy doing, and what was just a magical offence. If you looked at the front of Washington's season you'd say - more of the same, but then...

I’d be interested to see to what degree people actually are part of their accepted tree - and the relationship between the head (root?) of their tree vs other coaches they have been on a staff with. i.e how many/what proportion of games did, say, McVay play under Shanahan vs on the same staff as McDaniels, vs under a/each Gruden etc

Having a weird experience with a washed Colombian from Cast Iron - using my usual 18g in 40g out I have stepped my grind down from a 11ish to a 4 on the Niche Zero - shot time not changed at all. I’m using a spring tamper, so could change the spring and tamp harder, I’m just surprised that such a drastic change in grind size isn’t having any effect at all, 40g pulling in about 22-24s compared to the 30s I’d go for.
There is a lot of volume in the grinds, very fluffy, and similarly in the pulled shot - very crema-y. There’s some sweetness there but feel like the coffee definitely has more to offer.
Thoughts, before I put a heavier spring in my tamper?

I was about to post these as well. Great shout. Think someone (maybe you!) posted them here before.
